I work with so many lovely ladies and it really is an honour to be able to help someone look and feel their best, (yes, it sounds cheesy but I mean it!) Its such a confidence boost when not only do you look good, but you FEEL good! the 2 go hand in hand! I know all too well! If I don't wear any make-up, I do feel quite low! make-up is such a powerful tool and when used [...]

I am very lucky to be a columnist for The Lincoln Journal and The Lincolnshire Journal magazines, (I also write columns for The Wedding Journal too.)My most recent column in The Wedding Journal is talking about why you should book a Pro make-up artist on your wedding day. Here's a snippet, "Weddings are a time of celebration and happiness and I am always honoured to be a part of someones' special day. When choosing a Make-up artist, you can't [...]

As I have mentioned recently, I had the pleasure of working with such great professionals on an amazing shoot in Sheffield. Photography was by the very talented and lovely Jess Petrie, who's work I love and admire. Nina Marika was the extremely talented stylist, hair by Berquet Laurent of Hair Laundry, Cakes and head pieces - Amy Swann cakes, florals - Swallows and Damsons, make-up by me. The model was the beautiful Urte. The dresses were from the amazing [...]

I haven't been able to update my blog for a while, as I have been so busy with bookings. I am going to do a more in-depth blog as soon as I can!Since my last blog I have been working flat out with make-up lessons, weddings, shoots and make-up trials. I have also taken on lots of bookings for 2016 and 2017 too, (try not to be too late booking, as I have had to turn away lots of [...]

Well, since my last blog I have been flat out! Since the body painting shoot its been make-up lesson after make-up lesson and lots of bridal make-up trials and then weddings every weekend...I need a make-over myself!Saying that, I am really happy at the moment, as I am lucky working with such great people and getting to see such beautiful venues. I was lucky to work at the stunning Knowsley Hall in Liverpool recently, (Gary Barlow had turned up [...]

One of the most common concerns for the ladies that I meet are dark circles. Dark circles are different to an eye bag, and eye bag is a "sag" and no amount of make-up can conceal this, (I will blog about this hopefully on a later date.) There may be different causes for the dark circles, one could be hereditary even. All is not lost, as we have my secret weapon of choice...make-up!Firstly, you do have to make sure [...]

It's that time again! I am very mindful about keeping my make-up kit and brushes all sanitised and clean. So, when you book a Professional make-up artist, take into consideration not just the time she puts into applying your make-up but also replying to e-mails, cleaning and stocking up her make-up kit and brushes not to mention her experience and portfolio. This sets the professionals apart from the amateurs, thus is reflected in their pricing.Between clients, my brushes and [...]
